Abstract (en)

Bidirectional optical communication system transmits optical signals with two different wavelengths lambda 1 and lambda 2 ( lambda 1< lambda 2) between a broadcasting station and a plurality of ONU terminals. Bisecting separation of lambda 1 and lambda 2 requires expensive WDMs. lambda 1-selective photodiode which absorbs all the lambda 1 light and allows all the lambda 2 to pass through is proposed. The energy gap Eg1 of the light receiving layer is determined to be smaller than hc/ lambda 2 and larger than hc/ lambda 1. The lambda 1-selective photodiode and the other photodiode are positioned in series on a beam line, which dispenses with WDMs. <IMAGE>
